Yes, the application is slowed by having them on a network drive.  However,
I recommend to NEVER put custom libraries in the main lib folder.  If you
upgrade the main lib folder, you have to go through and find the custom
libraries.

In fact, MacPerl 5.1.5r4 installer actually creates a site_lib folder for
you and the app automatically finds it for you, too, so there is little
reason not to use it.
